1. Please Integrate with photoshop.

   Im having a nightmare trying to open Indesign files in to photoshop, keeping layers. One can think that it would be more natural, because thay are both design programs made by the same company. In practice it seems to be impossible. Please I need to be able to do it somehow. Any clues?

2. Layers panel addressing one page at a time (even with spreads) for 508 compliancy

   My agency has to do a lot of remediation to our files to meet accessibility requirements. Currently we use the layers panel to arrange objects on the page so that the reading order makes sense when the PDFs are read using assistive software. With files set up in spreads, all items on the spread are considered in the reading order despite the final PDF being output as single pages. It would be nice if the layers panel could be configured to address one page at a time (vs. two pages, as it is now). For simple projects, the spread approach works fine, but as projects become more complex and with the addition of more pages, this becomes extremely time consuming to remediate.

3. Option to Set Default Save Location for AI-Generated Content to Project Folder in InDesign

   Thank you for introducing the new AI-powered image generation feature in InDesign.
   I would like to suggest an improvement to the way AI-generated content is stored. Currently, these assets are saved by default to the local user folder, which can become problematic when multiple team members need to collaborate on a project. Since the assets are not stored within the shared project folder, this can lead to missing files or confusion when the document is opened by someone else.

   It would be highly beneficial to have an option that allows users to set the default save location for AI-generated content directly to the project folder. This would ensure that all assets are easily accessible and properly organized within team environments.

   Thank you for considering this feature enhancement, and I look forward to seeing how InDesign continues to evolve.

4. Kindly get back the old feature on constraining the proportions for width and height.

   Kindly bring back the old feature for constraining the proportions of width and height. It should remain constrained unless I change it. I prefer it that way. BTW, I've been using InDesign since its very first version. Thanks :D

5. Option to disable the drop shadow in artboard on screen mode "Normal" of the "View" menu

   Please, enable an option to disable the drop shadow on the artboard in 'Normal' screen mode in the 'View' menu (on the right side and in the footer of the artboard/sheet). The shadow makes it very difficult to achieve accurate positioning and alignment of objects. I found several people on Google complaining about the same thing, and there is no solution! The "Preview", "Bleed" and "Spacer" options do not have the shadow, but they also do not display what is on the workspace outside of the artboard/sheet. The "Normal" screen mode has to look like the artboard/sheet in Illustrator. I'm sending a screenshot with the problem marked and another showing how it should look.

7. Indesign 2024 not working with window-snapping apps

   I recently upgraded to InDesign 2024. I use BetterSnapTool to arrange my app-windows in order to have a efficient and practical workflow. But InDesign 2024 does not work with BetterSnapTool (BST) or any other window-snapping apps due to this reason I received from the BST support:
   "Unfortunately all window manager apps on macOS are affected by this, Adobe has broken their window resizing behavior in their recent updates. Their products do not respond correctly to window resizing requests using the macOS Accessibility API anymore. As of now I don't think there is anything I can do to fix this. If possible please also report to Adobe, they would need to fix this in their apps."
   BST works with every other application. I have reset InDesign preferences, but it still does not work properly. Therefore I still use InDesign 2023, since BST works perfectly fine with that application. The problem is that when I for instance snap ID2024 to 2/3 of the screen and I put another application in 1/3 of the screen (so far it works) but when I go to the 1/3 app and copy information and return to ID2024, ID2024 goes back to full screen again. Very annoying and it destroys my workflow. Adobe please fix this! I enclose a short videoclip to show how badly it behaves...

9. Add Date function to the Interactive Forms Creator in IND

   Add ability to put date formatting into the IND form creator (ie MM/DD/YYYY) - its a PAIN to add this in Adobe Acrobat AFTER I create a form in IND (especially when I have to make a change to the form within InDesign, I have to go back and re-add all of the places where I used Adobe Acrobat for date fields.)

11. Integrate Adobe Express/Canva-like features into Indesign

    So Adobe Indesign has some BASIC animations and I feel this is a completely missed opportunity on Adobe's behalf. Apps like Canva have been spreading like wildfire for years and while Adobe has released Express it is a poor cousin. The idea behind Express/Canva is to have an easy-to-create, templated video/animated solution for social media (which let's face it, is mostly video now), yet as a very heavy InDesign user I should be able to animate and export these animations while also taking advantage of the powerful mail merge (text, images, and it really needs to also have swatches), bulk relinking, dynamically updating files features that we all know and love within the adobe suite.

    What I would love to see included in Indesign

    1/ export of animation in mp4 and gif (including transparency) formats.

    2/ Improved Animation (on a page and page transitions)

    3/ Additionally, the use of MOGRTs or being able to make your own custom animations with placeholders would be amazing.

    Why Adobe Express doesn't work

    • Creative Cloud Library files are not dynamic, which means having to upload every single element you want to use (for me that's around about 50 every month - same templated files, different theming).

    • These files are already on my computer and such a waste of time and resources to upload and replace each image when it's already on my computer. I may as well use Canva which has much more variety.

    • Also limited in animations

    Why Photoshop/After Effects/Premiere doesn't work

    • it lacks the ease to mailmerge multiple items so relinking is arduous

    Why in5 doesn't work

    • it's limited (gifs are created by screen recording in your browser so it cannot do transparent gifs)
    • it's expensive and limited

    I know a lot of people think that animation and InDesign are in the past, but if you look at businesses that have basically made a multimillion-dollar business out of that base premise I guarantee you will see they have a bright future together.

12. Export to gif from InDesign - feature request

    PLEASE ALLOW EXPORT TO GIF FOR INDESIGN ANIMATIONS.

    I can't work out why this feature exists if we can't export it. I design google ads, web banners, EDMs etc in multiple formats with fast turnaround, in IND. But can't export a gif despite animations teasing me with all the cool things it could do.

    The best I can do is duplicate a page, flash something or duplicate 18 steps and export as jpg then stack & animate as frames in Photoshop (or create from scratch in Photoshop and use the comet tool, but that can be annoying to try to match perfectly or marry in with the other InDesign formats if designing an EDM) either option adds SO MUCH TIME.

    I'm aware of two dodgy ways to do this, one using an extension that isn't Adobe verified and costs more than my adobe suite COMBINED, which is already expensive. The other is to screen record it but that's tedious too, having to perfectly crop the screen recording isn't a great solution for high volume designs or multiple revisions.

    I got so excited with the new update toting new format compatibility, alas, this wasn't gif.

13. Disable features to speed up performance and remove bloat.

    I wish there was a feature where we could disable all the bloat that we don't need - I am not interested in CC Libraries, Share for Review and god knows what else. The performance of this bloated app is sub standard and something like this would help.

14. Please make it for ChromeOS

    The only thing I still use computers for is mild browsing when I need a larger screen than my phone, and creating a program once a year for a convention. I don't want to invest $600+ in a laptop just to use InDesign when my Chromebook is more than enough for everything else. Please make it accessible either online or for ChromeOS. It's long overdue.

17. PLEASE PLEASE! Buttons and forms Window

    PLEASE PLEASE!

    The Buttons and forms window is really difficult to work with.
    Can you please enhance its usability?
    Being able to group buttons, reorder buttons in the window would be a massive help.
    Other users have expressed the need to expand the window - this is an absolute must so we can get an overview of the interactivity for each element, right now this is impossible and it takes so much time refining and debugging. Our clients are asking for more interactivity and it would great to be able to do this with the same efficiency as layout in InDesign.
    It would be great to be able to have overlapping hotspots too - if that is indeed possible.

    Please make this a high priority for the next release. Many thanks

19. Worksharing across multiple users

    Being able to have multiple people working in the same file at once similar to how Autodesk Revit is formatted - there is one "central" file and each user has a "local" file that they work on and every time they save it saves back to the "central" as one master file. There is also a safe guard against two people doing the same work where if two users were on the same page, the second person to try an edit the same object would see an error message telling them that someone else owns that item and in order to edit it the other user needs to save to central in order to release it for their use.

20. Reveal in Bridge should Select File in Bridge

    In macOS, Reveal in Finder not only reveals the file, but selects it in the Finder.

    Reveal in Bridge should work the same way, to make it easier to immediately manipulate the file (such as updating metadata).
